Chapter 67: Setting Up The Gsp Network; Checking Security System Requirements - Gerber OMEGA CP Reference Manual

Chapter 67:
Setting Up the GSP Network
Setting up the network for OMEGA is a three-step process:

♦ Checking security system requirements.

♦ Establishing the network.
♦ Connecting and sharing output devices.
Note: The procedures in this section describe how to create a network which allows you to
share hardware output devices such as plotters, GERBER thermal printers, and inkjet printers.
If you want to share software libraries and fonts, you must call the Gerber Technical Support at
860-644-6971 for instructions about modifying your INI files.
Checking security system requirements
Each workstation must have its own security key and a copy of the OMEGA software. Load the
software on each workstation as described in the Getting Started with OMEGA Software manual
provided with the OMEGA software.
In order to share fonts and libraries between networked OMEGA systems, each system's
security key must be secured the same way. If they are not, you may not be able to share fonts
and libraries (base fonts are shareable).
OMEGA system security keys are secured the same way through the Multiple Installation
Program (MIP) or the Custom Key Program. If you do not know if your systems' security keys
are secured the same way, contact the Gerber Technical Support and provide the technician
with the GSP serial number and system identification number for each system. The technician
will:
♦ Tell you if the systems are secured in the same way.
♦ Explain how to have the systems secured the same way.
♦ Provide instructions about modifying your INI files.
To locate your GSP serial and system identification numbers
1 Right-click the GSPTray icon that appears on the right end of the Windows status bar
to open the Gerber Tray menu.
2 Click System Identification String to open the Gerber System ID box.
